Hiding in Bathrooms

Why Workers Deserve Great Bathrooms on Every Project

I hope you are doing well. Today I want to share a short but important thought that has been on my mind for years: bathrooms on the jobsite. It may sound simple, but the way we treat workers in this one area speaks volumes about our culture, our respect for people, and the kind of environment we want to build.

The Power of Respect in Small Details

Every job since my time at the Cancer Center project, I have made it a point to provide great bathrooms for the workers. On one job, we built bathrooms inside the building on levels two and four. Once the permanent bathrooms on levels one and three were finished, we transitioned workers into those. They were clean, permanent, and a huge step up from what most jobsites usually provide.

On another project, we worked with a trailer company that gave us an eight-wide trailer for the price of a five-wide. That allowed us to build out a complex of bathrooms inside the trailer system itself. They were beautiful, fully functional, and the trades absolutely loved them. I even have videos of those setups because I was so proud of what we accomplished.

The Pushback and the Misconception

But every time I talk about this, I hear the same criticism. Some foreman or superintendent will roll their eyes and say, “If you give them nice bathrooms, the workers will just sit in there all day on their phones.” The first few times I heard it, I brushed it off, but the more I heard it, the more it bothered me. The comments were usually made in a dismissive or disrespectful tone, as if workers had no dignity and no pride in their work.

Let me be clear. That idea is completely wrong. I have provided beautiful bathrooms for over a decade, and never once have I seen workers hiding in them. People are not going to sit in a bathroom stall, surrounded by smells, just to waste time. It is not happening. And if someone ever did, that is not a bathroom problem, it is a cultural or hiring problem.

People Are Not Resources

This mindset comes from an outdated way of thinking about people. In the old era of construction management, workers were treated like resources, objects to push and measure. That scarcity mindset leads to ideas like withholding bathrooms to control behavior. But workers are not resources. They are human beings, and they deserve respect.

When someone says workers will just hide in a bathroom, it says more about how that person views people than it does about the workers themselves. In fact, providing a clean, comfortable bathroom is one of the simplest ways we can show respect. On some projects, we even added music and air fresheners. It made a difference, and the workers appreciated it.

A Challenge for All Leaders

If you still believe that nice bathrooms encourage laziness, I challenge you to rethink it. Build such good bathrooms that, yes, someone could hide in them. If they do, you now have visibility into a cultural or behavioral issue that you can actually address as a leader. But most of the time, you will simply find grateful workers who feel valued.

Nasty bathrooms are never the solution. They do not increase productivity, and they certainly do not foster respect. Providing great bathrooms is one of the simplest and most effective ways to create a jobsite culture built on dignity.

Key Takeaway

Workers deserve clean, comfortable bathrooms, and providing them shows respect while strengthening jobsite culture. Hiding is not a bathroom issue, it is a leadership issue.

You Are Not Urgent Enough

You Are Not Urgent Enough

Welcome everyone, I hope you are doing well. I am excited to share this blog because it is about something I see holding teams back again and again. The truth is, most of us are not urgent enough. Last week I was at the ICBA conference in Vancouver, Canada. It was absolutely amazing. I met great people, delivered a keynote, and had the chance to connect in person with colleagues I have been interacting with on LinkedIn. Canadians are always sweet to me, and the experience was energizing. But when I got home and reflected, I realized urgency is the one thing we continue to miss on projects. Here is what I mean. I see this often in preconstruction. A team will say, “We are fine, we do not need to do that yet.” Then weeks later, they hit a massive delay because the foundation options were not properly planned. The same thing happens with commissioning. I remember one project where the experts insisted we had plenty of time. I knew we needed to start six weeks earlier, and I pushed for it. Later, the commissioning agent admitted I was right and said, “We were not urgent enough.” If I had not acted, the project would have missed substantial completion. This lack of urgency shows up everywhere. We say we will get to planning the concrete later, or that we can bring trade partners into the team a little further down the line. We wait too long to order materials, to get permits, to set up trailers, or to prepare for inspections. The result is always the same: false starts, interruptions to the supply chain, missing information, and wasted time. These problems usually do not come from the systems themselves but from the fact that we did not move quickly enough to get ahead. Urgency does not mean pushing people or burning them out. Urgency means planning with intention, acting early, and getting far enough ahead so that the team has what they need when they need it. As I like to say, we do not push people, we push with our planning. And that requires urgency. When you trace back many of the problems you face on projects, whether it is late materials, failed inspections, or a lack of coordination, you can almost always tie it back to not being urgent enough. That is why I am sharing this message. Not as criticism, but as a reminder. I want you and your projects to succeed, and urgency is one of the keys. We are not urgent enough. I am working on this myself, and I encourage you to do the same.

Key Takeaway

Most project problems such as delays, missed materials, or failed starts can be traced back to a lack of urgency. The solution is not to push harder but to plan sooner, deeper, and with greater focus.

A Bad Plan is the Makings of a Good Plan

A Bad Plan is the Makings of a Good Plan

I want to share a concept that has shaped so much of the way I think and work: a bad plan is the makings of a good plan. This idea might sound counterintuitive at first, but when you step back and look at how learning and progress really happen, it makes perfect sense. I get feedback from people all the time who are starting out in the construction industry or who are moving into new roles. They ask, “How do I create the right plan when I’m new at this?” The truth is that your first plan probably won’t be perfect. In fact, it might be flat-out wrong. And that is not only okay, it is exactly what you need.

Why Starting Matters More Than Perfection

My business partner Kevin Rice says this to our engineers constantly: “A bad plan is the makings of a good plan.” He is right. What he means is that if you put something down on paper, even if it is incomplete or inaccurate, you now have something to work with. I have seen this firsthand in logistics plans, zone maps, and takt plans. When someone hands me a draft, I can review it, question it, and provide feedback. And almost every single time, after we debate and refine, the final product is better than if the person had waited until they felt it was “perfect.” Perfectionism kills momentum. Drafts create learning. Feedback loops are what make things excellent.

Lessons From Real Life

To make this more relatable, let me share a simple analogy. Nobody learns to kiss or make love by studying a manual or drafting a contract first. You learn by starting, paying attention, and adjusting to feedback. It might be awkward at first, but the process makes you better. Planning works the same way. You cannot wait until you think you have it all figured out. You have to start, test it, and improve along the way. I once reviewed a site logistics plan with Kevin that was completely wrong. We spent hours tearing it apart, challenging assumptions, debating, and rebuilding. By the time we were done, that plan became one of the best I have ever seen. And it only happened because we had a bad draft to begin with.

Overcoming the Fear of Getting Started

The real danger is not in creating a flawed first draft. The real danger is in being too afraid to start at all. Imagine missing out on learning how to do something you love simply because you refused to try. Planning is the same. If you never put down your first idea, you will never have the chance to shape it into something great. So when you are asked to prepare a logistics plan, a takt plan, or a strategy for a project, do not overthink it. Get it down on paper. Share it. Invite feedback. That is the path to creating something outstanding.

Key Takeaway

A bad plan is not a failure. It is the first step toward a great plan. Progress comes from starting, getting feedback, and improving, not from waiting until things feel perfect.

People Should Think You Are Dangerous

Why an Effective Integrator Should Feel a Little Dangerous

I recently sat down with Kevin Rice and Kate Schroeder for a powerful discussion about integrators and what makes them truly effective on a job site. One of the most striking comments came from Kevin, who said that when you are doing your job well as an integrator, half the people in the room should think you are dangerous. That statement immediately caught my attention because it goes against the idea that being effective means always being agreeable.

What an Integrator Really Does

An integrator is someone we send on site to bring the Takt Production System and IPCS into a project. In simple terms, they are there to integrate proven systems with the team and help drive real results. They are not just observers or advisors. They are catalysts for change, there to ensure that processes are not just talked about but actually implemented.

But with that responsibility comes a challenge. Too many times, integrators or leaders fall into the trap of being either the savior or the sympathizer. They want to be liked, so they soften their approach, avoid difficult conversations, or allow bad behaviors to slide. At first glance, that feels like respect. But in reality, it can disrespect the entire team because it allows problems to continue unchallenged.

Respect Is Not the Same as Being Soft

Respect in this context does not mean avoiding accountability. It means having the courage to hold the line and the wisdom to say what needs to be said, even if it makes some people uncomfortable. When we choose silence for the sake of avoiding offense, we are often protecting our own feelings, not serving the team.

True respect is holding everyone accountable to the standard that will benefit the entire project. That is why an effective integrator will always make some people nervous. Those who are working in silos, cutting corners, or hiding behind dishonesty will feel threatened when someone sharp, strong, and unafraid of the truth steps onto the site.

Why Being “Dangerous” Matters

This is not about being toxic or heavy-handed. It is about being a strong, principled presence that others know will not look the other way when something is wrong. The people who are genuinely committed to the project will welcome this accountability. The ones who are looking out only for themselves are the ones who will feel the pressure.

As Kevin put it, integrators should be the people who raise their hands, ask the hard questions, and call out the problems that everyone else sees but no one wants to address. When done with respect and fairness, this creates the most stability, trust, and progress on the job.

Key Takeaway

An effective integrator is not just supportive but courageous. By asking the hard questions and holding the line, they create true respect and stability for the whole team, even if that makes some individuals uncomfortable.

CPM Is Not Great! And More….

Posted on August 26, 2025August 26, 2025 by Jason Schroeder

Designing What People Want

I hope you are doing well and staying safe out there. Today I want to share some thoughts about designing what people want and the balance between giving people exactly what they ask for and what they truly need.

Recently, I have been diving deep into research, talking with lean professionals, and reflecting on how products and systems in construction are developed. What I continue to see is that when we only focus on what people say they want, we often end up recreating the same old tools that do not solve the real problems. For example, if we only rely on user requests, most software developers in construction will just build a faster CPM scheduling tool. That may make money, but it does not push our industry forward.

Why Listening Alone Is Not Enough

There is a common quote attributed to Henry Ford that if he had asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse. People often revert back to what they already know, not what will truly move them ahead. The same is true in construction. Many professionals ask for CPM tools or features that feel familiar, even though they are not what actually improves outcomes.

As I see it, the role of a builder, a leader, or a creator is not just to listen but also to interpret. Our responsibility is to merge what people want with what they need. A foreman, for instance, may not always ask for time to plan ahead, but when planning is prioritized, the crew performs at a higher level. Similarly, clients may not specifically ask for integrated systems or tact-based approaches, yet those are the methods that prevent problems and bring flow to projects.

Building the Right Balance

The real art is in striking the balance between immediate wants and long-term needs. This means staying close to clients and teams, observing where they struggle, and guiding them toward better solutions. In my own journey, I have become more convinced than ever that we cannot allow the industry to simply continue building faster versions of broken systems. Instead, we need to design for both customer desire and true industry progress.

I am convinced that the right path forward is combining genuine customer feedback with principles of production, flow, and planning that always deliver results. That is where real transformation happens.

Key Takeaway

We cannot only design what people say they want. The real progress comes when we blend what they want with what they truly need, creating solutions that both satisfy and elevate the entire industry.

We Don’t Blame People: Blame the System

Posted on August 26, 2025October 21, 2026 by Jason Schroeder

Read 5 min

In construction and in life, I have learned that it is far too easy to point fingers when things go wrong. But I truly believe that people are inherently good. The real problems do not come from the individuals themselves but from the systems, processes, behaviors, and cultures that surround them.

Short answer: We don’t blame people because people are inherently good. When something goes wrong, the cause is almost always the system, process, behavior, or culture around them. Blaming people destroys trust and morale. Fixing the system protects people’s dignity and actually improves the work.

Why Should Leaders Blame the System, Not the People?

Whenever I see someone blaming people, I see the damage it creates. It destroys trust, lowers morale, and creates toxic environments that are hard to repair. When I hold the system accountable instead, I find opportunities to make real improvements that actually help the people I care about.

For me, respecting people means believing in their potential, standing up for them, and not letting broken or harmful systems hold them back. Whether it is unsafe practices, poor planning methods, or ineffective management tools, I feel a responsibility to challenge the process while protecting the dignity of those doing the work.

I also know that telling the truth about broken systems is one of the most respectful things I can do. If I stay quiet, people continue to get hurt by methods that do not serve them. By speaking up, I help others avoid harm and open the door for growth.

I have seen over and over again that leadership is about empowerment. Foremen, field engineers, and superintendents are closest to the work. They should be trusted and supported to prepare and execute work packages. To sideline them is diminishing leadership. To elevate them is multiplier leadership.

This mindset is not always easy. It takes patience, and it takes investment in people. But I know the alternative is worse. If I blame individuals, give up on them, and tolerate broken systems, then nothing ever improves. The path I choose is to believe in people, work on improving the systems around them, and commit to creating a culture of respect.

What Do We Mean by “We Don’t Blame People”?

When we say we do not blame people, we do not blame their true selves: their core self, soul, conscience, or present self, depending on your worldview.

Our bodies and brains are survival machines, always scanning for threat, always reacting, always protecting. Eckhart Tolle calls that part of us the ego. The ego lives in fear, in the past, in the future. It lashes out, hides, fights, and defends.

Our true self is something different. It is conscious. It can override instinct. It can choose.

So when someone behaves poorly, what are we really seeing? Their true self? Or something else? That question changes everything.

What Shapes Behavior, If Not the Person?

When someone falls short, the cause is almost always one of these forces, not their true self:

System
Process
Environment
Culture
Learned and prompted behavior

Any one of these can override a person’s intentions. When we focus on the person instead of the conditions, we fail to solve the real problem.

What Changes When We Stop Blaming People?

When we stop blaming people and start addressing root causes, extraordinary things start to happen:

Teams stop attacking each other and start attacking problems.
Conflict turns into collaboration.
People feel safe to speak up.
High performance becomes possible.
Respect for people becomes a lived reality, not a slogan.

Why Does Lean Thinking Require Respect for People?

Lean thinking is built on this foundation. The Japanese culture that birthed lean holds a deep belief in the inherent value of every human being. Not that every behavior is good, but that every person contains a true self worth honoring.

If we want to be true lean thinkers, we do not blame the person. We find the system issues, the process issues, the environment, the culture, and the prompts, and we fix the root cause. That is how we elevate people. That is how we elevate construction.

Key Takeaway

I never blame people. I always blame systems, processes, cultures, and behaviors. People are inherently good and deserve respect, empowerment, and support instead of criticism.

For more on this, see Respect for People, Nature, & Resources.

So here is the challenge: the next time something goes wrong, look at the system, process, behavior, or culture before you look at the person.

Bottom line: Blame the system, never the people, and fix the system so the people doing the work can succeed.

If your project needs superintendent coaching, project support, or leadership development, Elevate Construction can help your field teams stabilize, schedule, and flow.

On we go.

FAQ

Why shouldn’t construction leaders blame people?

Blaming people destroys trust, lowers morale, and creates toxic environments that are hard to repair. Holding the system accountable shows you where to make real improvements.

Who should prepare and execute work packages?

Foremen, field engineers, and superintendents, because they are closest to the work. Sidelining them is diminishing leadership. Elevating them is multiplier leadership.

Don’t Just Design What People Want

Designing What People Want And Need

I want to share some thoughts about a common trap I see in both construction and software development: designing only for what people say they want.

In construction, if you ask most people what they want, they’ll often default to what they already know. That’s not a criticism, it’s just reality. For example, many will ask for a new CPM scheduling tool because that is what they are familiar with. But sticking with what is familiar often leads us back to the same problems we have always had.

There is a famous quote often attributed to Henry Ford that says if I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse. The point is clear. True innovation comes when we balance what people want with what they actually need.

Why This Balance Matters

If we design only for demand, we risk creating solutions that look shiny but do not solve the real problems. In construction scheduling, for instance, the base must be built on principles like time by location, production control, and alignment of work in progress. That is what actually drives flow and results. From there, yes, we can add features that people want, like CPM exports or interface tweaks. But the foundation has to meet the need, not just the want.

Learning From Scrum and Lean Startup

Both The Lean Startup and Scrum emphasize staying close to the customer, testing, iterating, and refining. But iteration does not mean endlessly polishing the wrong thing. The classic sketch illustrates this perfectly. Instead of building half a car, then three quarters of a car, then almost a car, you build a skateboard, then a scooter, then a bike, and then finally a car. Each step delivers value while moving closer to the right solution.

In our industry, this means working with foremen, field engineers, and superintendents who plan the work at the frontline. It means relying on the people who are closest to the installation of work, rather than distant management layers or bloated software tools. It also means recognizing that our customers may not always know what to ask for until they see it in action.

Doing The Right Thing

I would rather see us create tools and systems that may not be the most popular, but that actually work. Systems built on flow, location based scheduling, and real production control. Systems that give superintendents and foremen actionable direction every day.

That is the path to true improvement in construction. Not just designing faster horses, but creating what will really take us forward.

Key Takeaway
The challenge is not designing only what people ask for. Real progress happens when we balance what they want with what they truly need.

Construction Apologetics

Posted on August 26, 2025August 26, 2025 by Jason Schroeder

Read 3 min

Why I Care About This

I have been in construction at every level, from field engineer to superintendent. My heart is with the foremen and workers who do the real work on projects. When a foreman or trade partner gives me positive feedback, it means the world to me because those are the people I am here to serve and protect. That is why I take this conversation about apologetics so seriously.

Understanding Apologetics

Apologetics traditionally refers to defending a belief system, often in religion. I first encountered it through books that debated faith, belief, and criticism. What I learned was simple: criticism is not always bad. In fact, questioning and challenging institutions is essential when they hold power over people’s lives. The same applies in construction. If a system is being forced onto people through contracts or mandates, it must be open to scrutiny.

Why Construction Needs Critics

There are too many apologists in construction today, defending things like CPM, EVM, and sometimes AWP. These methods are not just optional tools. They are often mandated in contracts, written into government requirements, and used to control projects in ways that hurt people on the ground. Unlike the Last Planner System or Lean methods, which I believe can always be improved, CPM and similar systems are fundamentally flawed. They have become state-like powers in our industry, and that makes them dangerous.

My Personal Stand

I did not go looking for a fight with CPM. CPM got in the way of the work. I have seen it used as a weapon against good people who were trying to deliver great projects. That is why I cannot sit back and watch. It is my moral imperative to challenge it, criticize it, and work toward removing it from contracts where it harms rather than helps. Criticism in this case is not negativity, it is progress.

Moving Forward

I want to be clear that I am not against improvement or iteration. Lean practices, planning systems, and respectful management methods can and should always be improved. But there is no place for apologetics when a toxic system is forced upon workers and leaders in the industry. The time for defending outdated methods is over. The time for open criticism, innovation, and respect for people is now.

Key Takeaway

I believe it is our moral duty to challenge toxic systems like CPM, EVM, and AWP when they are forced upon us. True improvement comes when we stop defending broken methods and instead push for systems that actually respect people and deliver results.

Takt Steering & Control Book – Beginning the Meeting System

Solutions for Constraints and Roadblocks in Construction

In construction, constraints and roadblocks are inevitable. They slow down production, create frustration, and can derail even the best-laid plans unless you have a system for handling them. Within the Takt production system, constraints are marked in orange and roadblocks in red. By setting up your office trailer and Takt steering and control boards, you create a system that not only identifies these problems but also gives you the tools to solve them.

Here are the strategies that can turn challenges into opportunities for flow and stability:

Get It

If you don’t have what you need to create flow get it. Missing materials, tools, or resources should never be left unaddressed.

Fix It or Adjust It

Sometimes the solution is as simple as fixing or adjusting what’s already in place. Whether it’s an improper Takt time zone boundary or a sequencing issue, adjustments with clear communication and visual instructions can quickly get things back on track. Remember: in construction, keeping a plan fixed just for the sake of a baseline doesn’t work. Adjust to reality.

Remove It

If a problem is slowing you down, remove it completely.

Adapt to It

Some issues like weather or owner changes can’t be avoided. A nimble team with stability built into their system can adapt and still maintain flow.

Delay Strategies

Line of Balance Delay: Eat into an end buffer to maintain balance.
Isolation Delay: Detach a location or wagon and recover separately.
Sequence Delay: Adjust sequencing to keep work moving.
Rezone Delay: Change zone sizes to recover time without harming trade partners.

Add Workable Backlog

Creating non critical work areas gives flexibility. Crews can swing into backlog work when delays occur, maintaining productivity and avoiding wasted time.

Avoid Bad Habits

More Materials: Overloading the site only creates clutter and slows progress.
More Pushing: Pressure leads to chaos and toxic environments.
More WIP: Excess work in progress kills productivity.

The Right Way

Sometimes you need more resources, but they must be the right ones; trained workers, proper tools, and capable equipment.

Adjust Work Packages

Reconfigure crews or package trades differently. Small shifts in composition and sequencing can yield big results.

Preplan

Nearly every issue can be avoided with solid preplanning. Fail to plan, and you plan to fail.

Do Your Job

Don’t hide behind contracts or excuses. Do the right thing even when it’s uncomfortable. Teams and projects suffer when leaders prioritize “covering themselves” over delivering results.

The Recovery Hierarchy

When facing impacts, it’s better to remove roadblocks before absorbing them.

Amazing: Catch issues in the look ahead schedule.
Great: Catch them in the weekly work plan.
Good: Swarm and recover within the work package.
Fair: Eat into a buffer.
Dumpster Fire: Rush, push, and panic out of sync.

Rules to Remember

Maintain diagonal trade flow.
Do not dissolve logic.
Do not shorten durations.
Do not trade stack or overburden.
Always maintain one process flow.

And finally, understand the distinctions:

Trade Stacking: Too many trades in one space unsafe and unproductive.
Trade Burdening: One trade stretched across too many areas.
Trade Packaging: Intentional pairing of trades in one wagon (can be good).
Zone Transitions: Allowing overlap between zones when needed.

Key Takeaway:
Constraints and roadblocks are inevitable in construction, but they don’t have to derail a project. Success comes from having a system to address them through strategies like removing obstacles, adapting, rezoning, sequencing, workable backlog, adjusting work packages, and above all, preplanning. With the right approach, teams can maintain flow, reduce chaos, recover time, and keep projects moving forward without sacrificing safety, trust, or quality.
